“The bad news is that many are vying for it and all are first-tier actresses . Hence, your chance of being selected is slim . ” He told her matter-of-factly .

“Slim chance?”

She wondered in shock how slim her chance would be .

“Very slim . ”

“Why do you say that?”

“That’s because the list of candidates includes Han Yuyan and Lin Zhi . ”

She realized with some alarm how slim her chance was .

There was no need to elaborate further on Han Yuyan’s sky-high status in the industry .

As for Lin Zhi, she had become the most popular and sought-after actress in period drama in these two years; no one could compete with her in this category .

Speaking of her, although she had just debuted three years ago, she had managed to become an award-winning actress with her first movie, ‘Rose Night’ . Her status and talent fee rose overnight .

After that, she appeared in many period dramas and was given the title of ‘Imperial Beauty’ in the entertainment industry .

She had a face fit for period dramas . With her gentle and stunning profile, she looked otherworldly .

She acted as Xiaolongnü in the remake of ‘The Return of the Condor Heroes’, and this increased her popularity immensely and let her join the first-tier actress ranks .

Despite the fierce competition, Qin Zhou had great confidence in her . To him, Yun Shishi had nothing to fear regarding that actress . Her sculpted looks were equally compatible for period dramas; in fact, he believed that she could be better than Lin Zhi .

What he was worried about was the power Lin Zhi and Han Yuyan wielded behind their backs .

Han Yuyan held the position of the number-one actress in Huanyu . Besides, being in the industry for many years, she had a large fanbase . She had the loudest supporters for this role .

In fact, she had postponed her wedding to compete for this role in ‘Lethal Beauty’ .

Lin Zhi, who was under Chengguang Entertainment, belonged to the young league of up-and-coming actresses . Even though she was relatively new in this industry and her foundation might not be strong, she came with a powerful background .

When it came to backgrounds, Han Yuyan might have a stronger backer .

The real issue here was that the rights for ‘Lethal Beauty’ had already successfully bought by Chengguang .

Since that company had spent a fortune to buy the copyrights, they would naturally promote their artistes .

The most-renowned artiste in Chengguag was Meng Lan . However, she was partly retired after marrying into a rich family, so she was dropped from the list .

Because of that, that entertainment company showed every intention of cultivating Lin Zhi as the next Han Yuyan . This could be seen in the amount of resources they had poured on her in these two years .

They were out to make her the new ‘number one’ .

When Chengguang successfully bought the copyrights of the novel, Qin Zhou speculated that the female lead might have already been predetermined . It seemed to be likely for that actress to take up the lead role .

Today’s TV and filming industry was different from the past .

In the past, directors could decide on their artistes .

Now, artistes were pre-determined by investors . They held the power and directors had no say in it .

This would be the usual case, unless the director had invested in the show or was famous like Lin Fengtian .

Not every director was lucky enough to have the male and female leads of their choice .

Most of the time, investors would arrange for their preferred artistes to appear in the show . It reached a point where the production team had to tailor-make a character for an artiste if there was none .

For a popular original work like ‘Lethal Beauty’, the roles would likely be populated by connections and networks . Even a first-tier actress might only get a supporting role, whereas a superstar might only make a minor appearance within a few episodes .
